As a chi...Thank you for your kind words, Violetsky! As a child we had a book about prehistoric animals, and (besides triceratops, eohippus and sabre tooth tiger of which realistic illustrations were shown) a fossile trilobite was pictured, and I was fascinated by this weird creature. I vagely remember 'meeting' a trilobite in my fantasy (similar to how nowadays people can be happy to face a kind/funny looking turtle), but just decades later I learned that trilobites lived down in the seas. So, apart from the different eras, a meeting would have been impossible :-) Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905212958338435906.post-86216004699104272092016-04-24T17:42:01.657-04:002016-04-24T17:42:01.657-04:00I love how excited Heleen is about this stamp.

Fortunately there still is a small 'trilobite'-like creature (woodlouse) around.<br /><br />(Also the design is one of my favourites, I like the combination of brown, black and blue and the simple design - and flora/fauna :-) )Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.com
